Norway, 1880. Winter is hard in Butangen, a village secluded at the end of a valley. The lake has frozen and for months the ground is too hard to bury the dead. Astrid Hekne dreams of a life beyond all this, beyond marriage, children and working the land to the end of her days. Then Pastor Kai Schweigaard takes over the small parish, with its 700-year-old stave church carved with pagan deities. The two bells in the tower were forged by Astrid's forefather in the sixteenth century, in memory of conjoined twins Halfrid and Gunhild Hekne. They are said to hold supernatural powers.

In the heroic days of rail travel, you could dine on kippers and champagne aboard the Brighton Belle, smoke a postprandial cigar as the Golden Arrow approached Paris or be shaved by the Flying Scotsman's onboard barber. Everyone from schoolboys to socialites knew of these glamorous trains. Andrew Martin recreates famous train journeys by travelling aboard their nearest modern-day equivalents, describing the disappearance of the extravagance and luxury.

Aside from love, few actvities seem to promise us as much happiness as going traveling: taking off for somewhere else, somewhere far from home, a place with more interesting weather, customs, and landscapes. But although we are inundated with advice on where to travel, few people seem to talk about why we should go and how we can become more fulfilled by doing so.

Christopher believes Alan is still alive and builds a special one-year clock to wait before settling his estate, giving Alan time to return. Greed, embezzlement, theft, blackmail and double dealing are just some of the day-to-day events while everyone waits until the clock stops. (summary by Tom Penn)

Welcome to Coffee Break at the Château, the podcast that opens the heavy oak doors and lets you see what’s actually happening behind the closed shutters of the Loire Valley. Hosted by Mascha (Les Belles Ruries) and Bérengère (Le Mortier), this is the English-language sister to our French podcast "Pause Café Au Château" -but with a twist.

Of the sixty million pickups on U.S. highways today, just one in eight was bought for work purposes. The remaining fifty-four million are what truck dealers call "lifestyle purchases."
